Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Andrzej Fonfara believe they’ve picked the perfect opponent to make for an explosive light heavyweight match. The two tough and aggressive boxers fight on Showtime on April 18 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.

If the April 18 fight between Andrzej Fonfara and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., which both sides have agreed to, is allowed to happen, the Polish 175-pound contender says fans can expect a war. “He has his Mexican style and I have my Polish style,” he said. “I don’t think this fight will end in a decision.”

A deal has been reached for light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara to face former middleweight titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on April 18 at an undisclosed weight and at a site to be determined. However, Bob Arum, Chavez’s promoter in arbitration, says the Mexican star owes him one more fight

Light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara won a hard-fought decision over game Doudou Ngumbu in the main event of a Showtime tripleheader on Saturday at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. Fonfara won the entertaining 10 rounder by scores of 98-92, 97-93, 97-93.

Fighters always say they aren’t looking past the next guy, but Andrzej Fonfara sees his upcoming bout against Doudou Ngumbu as a stepping-stone to a rematch with RING/WBC light heavyweight champ Adonis Stevenson, who defeated Fonfara by a unanimous decision in May.

Andrzej Fonfara lost a unanimous decision to light heavyweight champ Adonis Stevenson in May but gave a spirited effort and hopes to get a rematch. However, first he has to take on Doudou Ngumbu in Chicago on Saturday. Fonfara shared his thoughts on his Ngumbu and the 175-pound division with RingTV.com.

Andrzej Fonfara will return to the UIC Pavilion in Chicago on Nov. 1 and the front-runner to face him is Roberto Bolonti, sources have told RingTV.com. The light heavyweight bout between former title challengers may headline a Showtime quadruple-header featuring Tomoki Kameda, Roberto Garcia and Caleb Truax.

Fresh off his U.S. debut with a seventh-round knockout of Pungluang Sor Singyu in July, WBO bantamweight titleholder Tomoki Kameda could be headed for UIC Pavilion to face Mexican veteran Alejandro Hernandez.

The promoters of WBO light heavyweight titleholder Sergey Kovalev and Andrzej Fonfara have begun talks for a potential bout in October or November, if, as Main Events CEO Kathy Duva put it, RING/WBC champ Adonis Stevenson “doesn’t man up and fight Sergey in the fall.”
